You Decide A student was given an exam. The student was given ALL the information that would be on the exam. There was nothing on the exam that they were not given, yet they still failed. So, where is the problem? 1. The exam paper? OR 2. The student? What needs to be done to have the student pass? 1. The examiner needs to create a new set of exam questions? OR 2. The student needs to study more? We believe the answer is quite simple. The student needs study more. A person who just received citizenship in a country breaks the law. He knew the law existed, yet he broke it anyway, completely disregarding the law. The punishment is prison. What needs to be done to have the citizen not be in prison? How can the problem be fixed? 1. The new citizen is granted a pardon and the law is removed to match where he came from. OR 2. The new citizen is granted a pardon and they respect and obey the law. Just as the student needs to study more, the new citizen must do what is right according to the law or they will end up in prison again. Correct? Or does the country lower the standards just to keep people out of prison? Again, we believe the answer is quite simple. The new citizen must respect and obey the law. God has given His Law for all to follow. We know that it is NOT too difficult.
Deuteronomy 30:11 For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. It is even noted as being perfect. Psalm 19:7 The law (Torah) of the Lord (YHWH) is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord (YHWH) is sure, making wise the simple; There were even provisions for grace and forgiveness included within the law for most offenses. Yet man did not fail in obeying it, they disregarded it and pursued other ways. So, where is the problem? 1. In God's Law? OR 2. Man's willingness to obey God’s law? What needs to be done? 1. Man requires mercy for his rebellion and God must change His PERFECT law to suit mankind. OR 2. Man requires mercy for his rebellion and shown how to pursue obedience? Again, we believe the answer is quite simple. Man requires mercy for his rebellion and shown how to pursue obedience? Thus, Jesus, his Hebrew name being Yeshua, came. We must note that He rebuked the Pharisee’s and teachers of the Law for following their own traditions and NOT following God’s law. Mark 7:8,9 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.” And he said to them, “ You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! Note that New Testament AGREES with the Old Testament. Consider Psalm 19:7 again, what CONVERTS your soul? What gives wisdom? Think about it, is it possible to take away something which converts and provides wisdom? Yeshua is the whole Word of God. And it is He, the whole Word of God, who is to be in us. So then, did God lower His standards? Or, did He show us how to pursue His law? His perfect law. You decide. We pray you have been blessed by this teaching. Remember, continue to test everything.
